So I guess my son qualifies as gifted, and I thought I'd introduce myself here since I'm sure I'll be picking all of your brains quite a lot in the upcoming months.  Actually I think he's "twice-exceptional" since he also has an...

LOL, I was just about to post but saw your edit!  Yeah, I hated academic tutoring in school too.  Actually I even hated group work because the other kids would slow me down!  And surprise surprise, DS had problems in...

Little update, we had the meeting with the school yesterday (they had a conflict on Friday morning and asked if they could bump it up).  It was just a meeting with the special ed team to decide if his symptoms warranted further...
